[higgins-dev] [IdAS] registry factoring

[Greg Byrd <gbyrd@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to decide on the best way to separate the Eclipse 
functionality (searching for ContextFactory plugins) from the standard 
Java functionality (searching the Security.getProviders() list).  My 
current code does both, and therefore has Eclipse dependencies.  But I'm 
not sure how the non-Eclipse build is going to be structured.

Should I create plugin and non-plugin versions of IdASRegistry?  The 
plugin version would (of course) search for factory plugins, while the 
non-plugin version wouldn't.  (And the plugin version would be in its 
own project to simplify the build.)

PS. I'm very sorry about the holdup on committing the registry code.  
We're working on it.
